Igbo's and chest beating like bread and butter. The most successful group of people on earth like Chinese, Indians and etc. don't brag like you guys do. inferiority complex is too much with guys. The Yoruba's are the most successful group in Nigeria and yet they are very humble.

Shaffer Chimere Smith

Ne-Yo was born in Camden, Arkansas. His father is of African American and Chinese descent,[notes 1] and his mother is African-American. Both his parents were musicians. As a young child, he was raised by his mother after she separated from his father. In hopes of better opportunity, his mother relocated the family to Las Vegas, Nevada.

While in the Las Vegas Academy, Smith adopted the stage name "GoGo" and joined an R&B group called Envy, who appeared during amateur night on Showtime at the Apollo and on the MTV's The Cut[6] (hosted by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC).[7] The group disbanded in 2000, and Smith continued to write songs for other artists before starting his solo career. The stage name "Ne-Yo" was coined by Big D Evans, a producer with whom Ne-Yo once worked, because Evans claimed that Ne-Yo sees music as Neo sees the matrix.

See how dumb you are, how many of them would u know they were if you didn't know their names. Many people know these stars but not their real names, hence the list.

You are a dumb, cretinous fuuktard.

You sat your dumbarse down during your time of idleness and decided to create a list of 10 people of Nigerian heritage that NIGERIANS might not know are Nigerians and you came up with people with names like Nnamdi, Ejiofor, Madekwe, Ositadimma etc?

Are you that fcking cretinous?

Where do you think we would think they are from?

............................China?

And you are the fuuktard calling someone else dumb?

Product of a failed education system.
